The starting pitchers market for nediocre to below average pitchers is pretty high. Maybe its just the Twins. $10/2 for Correia and $4/1 for Pelfrey with incentives. Turns out non-tendering Jeff Karstens wasnt the best move

If we can move Hanrahan + another piece for Porcello Id prefer that, but I doubt Detroit does that. We have some young back end guys who might be ready. Villanueva would be ok. Its just a bit off for the market for 5th/mop up depth

RA Dickey for the Blue Jays #1 and #3 prospect? well done Sandy, well done.

i wish Dickey nothing but success in Toronto, I'm glad he got his money. Under other circumstances, I would've loved to keep him, but this trade makes a lot of sense. I hope this guy pans out, and solves our catching problem for the next 6 years.

considering the jays gave up their #1 position player and, arguably, their #1 pitching prospects for a 38 year old journeyman with essentially 2 years of success, i'd say that's pretty crazy - knuckleball or not.

EDIT: on the other hand, if you're going to trade the reigning NL cy young award winner, this is how it's done.
